Now that the snow is mostly melted and school is back in, the Mid-Valley has gotten back to normal. Here on Statesman Journal’s digital desk, we have taken a breath and a look back at the many photos that readers sent in during the storm. We received hundreds of photos. Readers posted them on our Facebook page, e-mailed them in droves and tweeted them out with abandon with the #SalemSnow hashtag.

Bravo, Salem. Here are the top five things we loved the most:

5. You stuck a ruler in it.

We got snow measurements from around the Mid-Valley. Two inches here, 8 inches there, nearly a foot! An honorable mention goes out to Ronda Olsen, who measured the snow on a picnic table with a Fireball bottle. We approve. See the gallery of just the rulers here.

4. You made igloos.

Igloos! We are so impressed. We have igloo engineering questions for you. How did you do it? What did you use to build those perfect little blocks that made up your huge domed structures? We are in awe. Check out our igloo gallery here.

3. You sent us photos of cute animals.

We have two words. Snow beards. They are like milk mustaches for dogs. And we still have to hold back squeals when we look at THE cutest little puppy, Gracey Mae. But it wasn’t all dogs. We got photos of cats, horses, birds, deer, a cow and even llamas. View Gracey and all her pals here.

2. Cute kids. Lots and lots of cute kids.

With their cute hats and little mittens, they stole our hearts. They were sledding and making snow angels. They were posing proudly with the snowmen they built. In some cases, these moments were firsts in their lives. Check out the kids here. We dare you not to smile.
